Cause for concern?70% of students in grades 4-12 are low achieving writers (according to NAEP)
More than 7,000 students drop out of school daily and they are typically in the lowest 25% of their class
College instructor’s estimate that 50% of HS graduates are not prepared for college level writing

Cause for concern?
National Commission on Writing reports that employers (both public and private) say writing is critical in the workplace and “directly affects hiring and promotion decisions”

Research Considerations

Elementary school children spend 31% to 60% of their school day on fine motor tasks including handwriting.
McHale & Cermak, 1992
![Page 29: Infinitec](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052523/5551bdddb4c905bb708b5420/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Studies show teachers grade papers with better handwriting higher.
Only difference was quality of writing.

Students are less hesitant to reevaluate and edit their written work produced on a computer.
(Graham and MacArthur, 1988, Jones, 1996
Productivity increases (Mayer-Nichols, 1996)
Quality increases (Jones, 1996)
